Princeton vs. State School? My brain is dying.

<p>If you want to go to med school, take the guarantee med school acceptance. If you do anything else, go to Princeton.</p>

<p>UofA would certainly be a great option, their pre-medical program looks very strong. I think Princeton would present some great academic opportunities, but Arkansas would make better sense economically.</p>

<p>I don’t know how Arkansas structures their pre-med program, but you could study business courses and maybe minor or even major in business there and still obtain pre-requisites for med school. Just be sure that if you decide to go that route to meet with a good advisor and schedule properly.</p>

<p>I see your conundrum now! Good luck!</p>

<p>Princeton don’t look back</p>

<p>Princeton … man I can assure you that you were not regret it if you go to Princeton. You would have a shot at places like Harvard Medical school even with average grades and if you decide to change your mind and not go to medical school where does that leave you?</p>

<p>As ucbalumnus said, I don’t really see medicine as a backup. I could see business more as a backup to medicine, sure. You have to decide if you want to go into medicine. If you’re looking for a startup… well I’m not sure if Princeton will do much for you there. But it does sound that you are pretty unsure of your career path. In which case I would also go to Princeton. It leaves the most doors open. Chances are, if you’re qualified to get into Princeton, you’ll do well enough to get into a med school anyways. But that’ll also leave doors open into business and other fields that you may be interested in.</p>
